I believe your love deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt — the laughter, the quiet, the wind in your hair, and every in-between moment that makes your story yours. My work is grounded in honesty and inspired by the wild beauty of the Oregon Coast. Whether your day is spent barefoot in the sand or on a trail surrounded by pines, my goal is to capture it all as it unfolds, effortlessly and with heart.
For love that’s honest, effortless, and meant to be remembered
Rooted in connection

may 2019
Hi, I’m Sophie — a photographer inspired by light, emotion, and connection. I started this business because I believe love stories deserve to be told with care and intention. To me, photography isn’t just about taking beautiful images, it’s about slowing down and preserving what it felt like to be there.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me on the Oregon Coast with my partner and our pup, probably chasing sunsets or sipping coffee with sand still on my shoes.

From the moment Sophie arrived, we felt completely at ease. She captured every glance, every laugh, every quiet in-between moment with such care. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the best day of our lives — but even more romantic.

Most couples reach out about 6–9 months before their date, especially if they’re planning for summer or fall. I only take on a limited number of weddings and elopements each year so I can give every couple my full attention, so the sooner you inquire, the better chance your date will be available.
How far in advance should we book?
Absolutely. Once you book, I’ll send a custom location guide based on your vision and the type of scenery that feels most you. Whether you picture a rugged cliffside, a quiet forest clearing, or a stretch of Oregon coastline with golden light, I’ll help you find the spot that fits perfectly. I’ll also help you navigate permits, accessibility, and timing to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Do you help with location scouting?
Your full gallery will be delivered within 6–8 weeks, but I always send a preview gallery within the first few days after your wedding or elopement — because I know how hard it is to wait. Every photo is hand-edited with care to reflect the warmth, tone, and emotion of your day, so you’ll receive a collection that truly feels like your story.
What’s your turnaround time?
Yes! I’m based in Oregon but love to travel and photograph couples all over the world. Whether it’s a mountaintop in Colorado, a villa in Italy, or a tucked-away beach in Hawaii, I approach each destination with the same heart and intention. Travel is always quoted transparently, and I waive fees for certain dream locations that are already on my upcoming travel list.
Do you photograph destination weddings?
Once you’re ready, you can submit an inquiry through my contact form and I’ll get back to you within 1–2 business days. From there, we’ll set up a quick call to get to know each other and talk through your vision. When you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send over your proposal, contract, and deposit to officially reserve your date. After that, we’ll dive right into the fun part — planning!
How do we book?
I want your experience to feel easy, intentional, and enjoyable from the very beginning. From our first conversation to your final gallery delivery, my goal is to create an atmosphere where you can truly relax and be yourselves. I’ll guide you through location ideas, timelines, and little details that help everything flow naturally.
